The Worlds Largest Barbecue

Uruguayan
Cooks Make Biggest Barbeque Ever Made – World’s Most Amazing
Photos. People gather around Uruguayan cooks who barbecue meat in an
attempt to break a record for the world’s largest barbecue in
Montevideo. A meats association in Uruguay on Sunday hosted the
world’s biggest barbeque on a single grill totalling 1,500 meters
in length, media reported. As many as 1,252 volunteer cooks grilled
12 metric tonnes of beef and about 20,000 spectators cried with joy
when a Guinness judge confirmed the barbecue record had been broken.
“I’m very proud to be Uruguayan. We have the best beef and now we
have the world’s biggest barbecue, said one of the cooks. The
organizer said the gargantuan cookout is held to promote the
country’s image as a major cattle producer.

For all barbecue lovers that
follow the news I’m proud to announce that this Sunday the Mexican
lost their Guinness record to the Uruguayan by just 4 tonnes of beef.Uruguay just settled the
world Guinness record for the biggest barbecue at 12 tonnes (26,400
lbs) of beef promoting the county’s succulent top export.To barbecue all that meat the
army put together nearly 1 mile of grills and the firefighters lit
six tones of charcoal.For the record to be broken
they got some 1,250 people to grill the beef known by the population
to be one of the best in the world. Besides all the “chefs” they
also had 20,000 spectators to cheer the good news.Uruguay that is a country of
3.2 million people stuck between two major cattle producers,
Argentina and Brazil, and still managed to export $817 million last
year.The idea for this barbecue
came from the National Meats Institute (INAC) that stated: “Uruguay
is very small, it’s not known for other events so we have to use
these kinds of gimmicks so people find out where Uruguay is and what
it has to offer,”.I think that this activity
leaves us reasons to whoever didn’t tried Uruguayan meat to give it
a go
